Don’t forget to head to the polls May 9.
In the springtime, ballots are filled with races such as mayor and school board representative.
Here is a recap of a few of them:
Slaton — $14.4 million school bond election
The bond aims to fund new buildings and school buses, according to the school district’s web site. Last year, Slaton voters turned down a $15 million bond proposal by about 53 percent.
Post — $18 million school bond election

Meter requirements and irrigation limits might or might not be gaining more support.
But don’t just take anyone’s word for it — watch the election.
A few years ago, proposals to amend the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District’s controversial Rule 5, which implemented those requirements, coincided with turnover on the district’s board of directors.
